Abstract

La présente invention concerne une unité de retenue d'encre et une imprimante à jet d'encre, ladite imprimante à jet d'encre étant pourvue de l'unité de retenue d'encre. L'imprimante à jet d'encre est également pourvue d'un corps d'imprimante et ladite unité de retenue d'encre est pourvue d'un premier élément et d'un deuxième élément. Le premier élément est configuré de manière à contenir l'encre qui doit être fournie au corps d'imprimante. Une section d'infusion est disposée sur le premier élément et est utilisée pour l'infusion d'encre. Le deuxième élément est raccordé au premier élément de manière à permettre la rotation, et en étant configuré de façon à permettre une rotation entre une position fermée et une position ouverte par rapport au premier élément, recouvre la section d'infusion lorsque le deuxième élément est dans la position fermée, et expose la section d'infusion lorsque le deuxième élément est dans la position ouverte. La ligne axiale pour la rotation est ici parallèle à la direction avant-arrière de l'unité de retenue d'encre et est située sur un côté proche du corps d'imprimante. L'unité de retenue d'encre utilisée dans l'imprimante à jet d'encre décrite dans la présente invention permet de réduire l'espace occupé par l'imprimante à jet d'encre.
